Introduction

National Central Library has launched “International Workshop for Professional Librarians” once every two years for enhancing academic exchange among East Asian Libraries and Chinese Studies Institutes since 2009. Topics were “Sinological Resources Applications and Services” (2009), “Sinological Resources and Services” (2011), “Preservation and Innovation of Special Collections and Archives” (2013), and “From Ancient Times to the Present: Preservation of Ancient Chinese Books and Development of Contemporary Chinese Digital Resources”(2015), respectively.
In 2017, the 5th Workshop, “International Joint Research and Training Program for Nation’s Memory and Archives Management,” has received the funding from Ministry of Science and Technology. The topics of Research and Training Program includes:

Introduction of different nations’ memories;

The experience of establishment of “Taiwan Memory”;

The collection, management, and utilization of archives;

Features of digital archives in Taiwan.

We’ve invited 6 oversea experts and 6 local scholars to share their experience and technology of how to establish and promote related websites of “Nation’s Memory”, as well as introduce different types of archives in Taiwan, hoping to be the best reference for establishing National Memory of every participant’s country, and to advance skills and scope of archives management.
We’ve received more than 50 registrations of international participants from 14 countries, including several invited participants in South-East Asia. We also welcome local participants.
